Dicksonia Brackenridgei

	Dicksonia Brackenridgei ''Dicksonia'' is a genus of tree ferns in the order Cyatheales. It is regarded as related to ''Cyathea'', but is considered to retain more primitive traits, dating back at least to the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods. The fossil record includes stems, pinnules, and spores. The genus contains 20–25 species, distributed from Mexico to Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay and Chile, St. Helena, New Zealand, New Caledonia, Australia, Indonesia, New Guinea, and the Philippines. New Guinea has the greatest diversity, with five species. Species of ''Dicksonia'' found in cultivation include: ''D. antarctica'', soft tree fern ''D. fibrosa'', woolly tree fern ''D. squarrosa'', rough or slender tree fern The genus was first described by Charles Louis L'Héritier de Brutelle in 1788.

	Charles Louis L'Héritier De Brutelle Charles Louis L'Héritier de Brutelle (; 15 June 1746 – 18 August 1800) was an 18th-century French botanist and civil servant. Born into an affluent upper-class Parisian family, connections with the French Royal Court secured him the position of Superintendent of Parisian Waters and Forests at the age of twenty-six. In this capacity, L'Héritier conducted various studies of native trees and shrubs, also gaining interest in exotic flora. The abbreviation L'Herit. is also used. Early life Apart from what is stated above, little is known of his early life before his first employment. He appears to have been self-taught in botany, after taking up the superintendency. In 1775 L'Héritier was appointed a magistrate in the ''Cour des Aides'' in Paris. This was a court which dealt with tax offences, but under its president Malesherbes it became perhaps the only French government institution to protect ordinary citizens against a corrupt state. Malesherbes himself was a keen botanist ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]

	Dicksonia Lanata ''Dicksonia lanata'' is a fern endemic to New Zealand. Colloquial names include stumpy tree fern, tūākura and tūōkura. ''Dicksonia lanata'' can be easily distinguished from the other ''Dicksonia'' species indigenous to New Zealand by its long, green or light brown stipes (the frond stalks). ''Dicksonia squarrosa'' has dark brown stipes; ''D. fibrosa'' has very short stipes. There are two subspecies. Subspecies ''Dicksonia lanata'' subsp. ''lanata'' is unusual among tree ferns in lacking a trunk. It occurs in higher areas of the North Island from Coromandel Peninsula southwards, although it is uncommon in the southern North Island. It also occurs in the northern and western South Island. In addition to the absence of a trunk, subsp.
